Camp Counselor

St Vincent De Paul Society of Los Angeles We appreciate your interest in serving on our staff at Circle V Ranch Camp this summer. We are looking for positive, energetic, and dedicated staff who want to impact the lives of children. Although extremely rewarding, it is a job that requires hard work and can be very challenging and difficult at times. It is also a great opportunity to gain valuable experience, make lifelong friends, learn about yourself, and further appreciate God, others, and the great outdoors. The Job **Posted salary range is bi-weekly** A job as a Circle V Ranch Camp staff member is extraordinarily demanding and you should only consider applying for a position if you love working with children. Life at camp requires staff members to sacrifice their normal living habits and serve as role models to our campers. This job is not for everyone! Successful counselors are dynamic, energetic, and patient people who thrive on being outdoors and recognize that children need support and encouragement to be responsible adults. Impact the Lives of Children A job at Circle V Ranch Camp is an opportunity to have a lasting positive impact on the lives of children. Circle V Ranch serves children from Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties, of which 98% attend camp on a campership. We work with foster care agencies, Catholic Charities, and many other social service agencies. Our goal is to give kids a chance to get out of the city, and for some, a break from their difficult situations at home to have a week of fun. You will be asked to be a leader and role model for a group of young people twenty-four hours a day. Life-Long Friends While role modeling for campers is the most important aspect of your job, being a staff member also provides an incredible opportunity to develop friendships with other staff. Circle V Ranch Camp is a very close-knit community and there is something special about living and working with people who share your enthusiasm for working with children. At the end of the summer, you will be amazed at the friendships you have made.
